Immediately I visualized scores of people in robes singing praises to the grand protectors.
Blessed be the Mask. Blessed be the Harmony of Social Distancing. Blessed be the co-mingling of the vaccine with our blood. Blessed be the lack of heretics for what is once done is forever done. All hail the jab!
All of this being done under stained glass widow showing an angelic Dr. Fauci haloed and masked. Perhaps with crossed syringes behind him. On the right, would be the holy first shot and on the left the holy booster.
Of course, no religion would be complete without curses.
Cursed be the unvaxxed, for they shall inherit death. Cursed be the deniers, for they are minions of the evil one, he of orange hue and wicked tongue. Cursed be purveyors of treatments, for they seek to undo the will of the almighty COVID, without the blessings of the holy jab. Cursed be those who will not mask, for they shall breathe naught but the unclean air and pestilence. Cursed be the pagan ones who dance in the sunlight and bathe in the sea for they wallow in filth.
As I was picturing this insanity I realized that I was pulling some of the imagery from the movie Ultraviolet.
As movies go, it was a bit weak on the plot. The visuals were impressive and in the end, the badguy did get his just deserts. So there was a certain satisfaction in that.
Ironically, the bad guy in the movie bears a slight resemblance to St. Fauci of the Mask, only a few years younger.
I was flashing on all of this and completely forgot what the article was about.
But… It started my day with a weird bit of silliness and a smile.
I hope you have some silliness that makes you smile in the weekend ahead.
I’m thinking I’ll fire up the DVD player and see if I can dig out my copy of the movie just for the hell of it.
Gas prices are soaring. While The President tried to blame it on gouging on the part of the stations, that’s not really playing well because the price of crude is up by quite a bit. This is what happens when you have supply chain disruptions.
Let’s face it, even if you take the politics out of the situation. It is, at its core a supply chain disruption. When the government decides that pipelines can’t be completed and targets other pipelines for closure higher prices are the result.
Add to that problems induced at the ports, where foreign oil comes into our supply chain and well, the prices have no choice but to go up. It’s a basic supply / demand situation. Then if you add the apparent lack of truck drivers into the mix creating more of a supply constraint it’s pretty damn obvious that prices at the pump are going to go up.
In California we see this every single year. As California switches from the “Summer Blend” to the “Winter Blend” at California refineries there’s always a supply burp. Prices go up and rarely come down. Since California regulations prevent importing non-California gasoline, the good people of California are always under the heavy thumb of Sacramento.
The image below from Despicable Me says it eloquently. If you have any question, we’re the person being crushed.
“Welcome to my world,” to the rest of the country. Get used to it for at least the next 6-8 years. I specify that time frame because with a screw up of this epic proportion even if Biden is voted out, it will take 2 to 4 years to undo the damage.
Biden says he’s running again in 2024. I’m wondering if his next presidential run will be from a hospital bed instead of his basement.
Enough of that, here we are at the beginning of the Holiday Season. It’s supposed to be a time of family, friends, and football.
But then in my warped little brain, I see the following conversation happening in the near future.
No dear I’m not watching football. It isn’t any fun anymore because it’s not just about the football. Now it’s all about “Educating” us on the error of our ways. So this year I just want to enjoy family, friends and a nice meal.
Oh right. Family and friends must now be looked at with suspicion.
Has Grannie had her COVID booster? She hasn’t? Oh well, send her back to the old folks home. Your friend Sharon hasn’t had the vaccine? Well she’s not welcome here! It doesn’t matter if she’s already had COVID, she’s unclean!
So what, if she’s the godmother of our children and you’ve been friends since kindergarten. She’s officially unclean we can’t take the risk to our children! Tell her she can’t come. What? No-one in the family has gotten their booster shots? Well then, I guess we’ll just eat alone.
What do you mean we’re not having a turkey this year? It’s not in the budget? How can it not be in the budget? We’re having tofu? What about the pies, what about the green beans? We’re not having those either, why not? There weren’t any at the store?
What is happening?
Oh right. We all have to keep tightening our belts until the New Administration is able to “Fix” all the messes the horrible Orange Man’s old administration left behind.
Say, it’s cold in the house let’s turn up the heat, it’s 55°F in here. I’m worried that the kids are too cold. What do you mean that we can’t turn up the heat? We can’t afford that either? Can we afford to turn on the oven? What? You’re going to cook Thanksgiving dinner over an open fire, that makes no sense.
We can’t afford to turn on the oven either? Uh yes dear, I’ll go dig a fire pit in the front yard. Yep, I’ll cut down the tree in the back yard. Good thing I’ve got a chain saw. Oh I need to go get some gas for it…
What? We can’t afford gas for the chain saw? Oh, You got me an ax for Christmas? Okay I’ll get to work. Can’t we just break up the furniture? Oh, that’s for later when we’ve used up the trees in the yard.
Why are you assigning me the gender specific role of chopping down trees and digging fire pits? Doesn’t that send a bad message to the children?
Yes dear… No I wasn’t implying that you should do all the work. I was just asking… fine! I’m going out to the garage, my phone should be finished charging in the Tesla by now.
What do you mean the Tesla is dead? Oh right, I forgot about the wind related blackouts this month.
Hey honey? What’s this Carvana paperwork about you buying a 1965 Volkswagen and there’s something else about immigrating to Mexico?
Now, I’d just be content to hitch a ride off this rock to someplace else.
Anywhere else.
It’s not this planet that’s the problem. This world is a beautiful place. The indigenous flora and fauna are spectacular. Except for one species. Even amongst that species there are some very nice individuals. As a group though, the species, Homo sapiens sucks!
Yeah, we’re a bunch of semi intelligent, semi evolved apes. We’ve done some clever things. Our music, art, and literature, explore some interesting existential concepts. We have an interesting imagination and all. But when you come right down to it, we’re not as spectacular as we think we are.
We’ve barely left our world. We’re driven by silly tribalism, religion, and fear. If we were in a zoo we’d be seen as creatures too fascinated by our own poo, to see even a slightly larger picture. One thing we’d miss, might be that we were the subjects of clever psychological experiments.(Hat tip to Douglas Adams) Or perhaps miss the fact that we were in a zoo at all.
Give us shiny trinkets and we’ll be entertained for decades. Give us differences in religion, appearance, or politics, and we’ll entertain ourselves for centuries.
Perhaps it’s a function of growing older, lately I’m less and less concerned with trinkets, religion, politics, trends, or appearance.
All I find myself longing for is simplicity and peace. The view of cities from a distance makes me very glad that I’m not living in one. Being alone and disconnected from Facebook, Twitter, and all the rest of the social media platforms provides me more happiness than my participation in those systems ever did.
I’m no longer concerned with what people think of me, and am happy reading, working outside, or thinking my own thoughts. There are days now when I don’t speak more than a few words to anybody. I go for weeks without seeing anybody other than my dog and significant other.
When I scan the news, with few exceptions all I feel is pity, or sit shaking my head wondering how stupid can people be.
I would gladly pack a few belongings and board a starship to get away from my fellow Homo sapiens. I might occasionally long for the company of other humans if I left. I suspect however, that the next planet or beauty of the universe would be enough to make thinking about distant humanity not worth my time.
Lately I’ve found myself thinking along these lines…
All civilizations fall. If you change your focus just a little bit and look at our planet and all it’s inhabitants as a whole. Divisions disappear and you realize that our technology has unified us in what is essentially a single civilization.
Homo sapiens is not ready for that.
Instinctively Homo sapiens realizes this truth, and is actively destroying this planetary civilization whether they admit it or not.
One need only look at the growing tribalism worldwide. A tribalism that directly or indirectly states, “My beliefs must be ascendant above all others.” What comes next, we can extrapolate from history.
The “Dark Ages” lasted 500 years. During that time, almost everything that had been known was lost. Homo sapiens devolved back into small bands of people drawn together out of mutual need.
Imagine the collected works of Shakespeare used as firelighters, because no-one could read anymore. In 200 years or less, everything that we take for granted will likely become legends repeated around a fire pit.
Will the next dark age last only 500 years? I suppose that depends on how much is lost, what is remembered, and in what context. If some kind of “Green” religion took hold I could see the next dark age lasting 1000 years or more.
Imagine a religion that said something like, “Thou shalt only burn the oils rendered from the fat of thine sheep, for light in the darkness. All other light, save that of the sun, is an abomination before god,” or “Thou shalt only walk upon thine own feet. Any other conveyance is an abomination. Thou shall not sit upon thine animals, nor shall ye ride upon thy wagon, for this is a sin and thee will surely be damned to hell for all time.“
Adherents to a religion like that might take 2000 years to even begin rediscovering technology. If a belief like this were dominant, it’s reasonable to expect that heretics wouldn’t last long. It’s also reasonable to assume that any community with a different view would be burned to the ground. Such is the power of religious fervor.
Religion isn’t confined to God, Allah, Buddha, or any other pantheon of gods. Religion is about belief. Belief in anything.
Belief in and of itself isn’t the problem, it becomes a problem when a belief takes on a life of its own. When beliefs are practiced and never questioned you have a religion. The consensus of all knowledgable people once was that the Earth was flat, and the entire universe revolved around Earth.
Folks who questioned that “Fact” were murdered as heretics. Even when scholars had evidence to support that the Earth was round, and was not in fact the center of the universe, they were hesitant to discuss it with anybody.
Religious leaders in those times, insisted that the world was flat and cited their holy texts to prove it. But nowhere in those holy texts did their god ever say, “By the way, the world is flat and you’ll fall off the edge if you go too far.” Also, nowhere in those religious texts, does God discuss the blueprints for existence or the universe.
There’s the disconnect. Superstition became entwined with religion and the two formed a foundation for persecution and more importantly, a framework of control. Another example was the belief that if someone was sick, they were sick because of demons or evil spirits. Ever wonder how many epileptics were burned at the stake? Just sayin…
I suppose what’s tired me of humanity is that so many “well educated” people are so unlikely to ask questions. It’s not about the vaccines, or the death rate, versus the case rates. My tiredness isn’t about the politics and obvious efforts of politicians to aggrandize themselves by attempting to control all aspects of people’s lives. Those are factors, to be sure.
The main thing is that so many people refuse to see or interpret the facts before them. So many people have abdicated their personal responsibility to learn in favor of a 20 second blurb about the world around them from a talking head on a screen. They don’t question what they hear, then these folks call themselves “well informed”.
At a family event recently, one of my relatives was haranguing me about vaccines and COVID. I’d ignored him on the matter for three solid days.
Finally, I asked the questions, “Would you take your umbrella if there was a 2% chance of rain? If there was a 98% probability that you’d win the lottery wouldn’t you bet the farm on it?”
After several other family members present busted up laughing, the matter was closed. This particular family member stomped off and said nothing more about COVID. The sad part is that he is, or was, a scientist. In point of fact a lot of my knowledge of scientific proofs and objective evaluation of fact, I learned from him. I found it very disconcerting that he of all the relatives was not asking logical questions and thinking for himself.
He’s not a bad person, I choose to believe that his haranguing was coming from a place of care and concern for members of the family. That’s admirable, but his method was all wrong because he wasn’t providing proofs or facts. He was simply repeating the same message CNN had been spouting for more than a year.
Perhaps my expectations were too high. I’d expected a scientist to be armed with facts and proofs. I would actually have welcomed that. I’d have asked questions and asked to look at, and evaluate the data as he’d taught me to when I was a young man.
I suppose I’m still dealing with the shattering of my illusion that this family member was about the reality of scientific process.
Science can teach you a lot. Often, science will teach you that your preconceived notions about the world are wrong. Pure science challenges your beliefs. It doesn’t take sides and cares nothing for your feelings.
E=mc2 Works. The equation is dispassionate. It contains no inherent moral judgement. It’s up to the individual to decide if they will use the resulting energy for destruction, or to generate power that lights a city.
Superstition on the other hand is nothing but beliefs. In a revival tent, those that the faith healer can’t heal, didn’t believe hard enough. It’s the unhealed, who are at fault. They’re told to go home and pray on it then come back next week. “The donation box is by the door, leave as much as you can and god will know. Perhaps he’ll heal you next week.“
That’s the way this past couple of years appear to me. It’s like we’re all living in a revival tent.
The problem for me is that the revival tent has been growing around us for a decade. Science, truth, facts, are being replaced by beliefs and superstition. Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ve reached apogee in this phenomena yet.
I don’t want to be on this planet when we do.
Here’s a thought experiment.
Imagine yourself with your car, manufactured goods, and all your digital devices suddenly appearing on a street in Barcelona during the inquisition.
Witch! Demon! Unclean Spirt!
You’d be dragged in chains to the grand inquisitor before you even had a moment to take stock of what had happened to you. You’d be summarily executed too.
Imagine the same scenario, but this time you appear in 1947 near an army base. You’d find yourself in a military prison. You’d be under “protective custody” and interrogated about the technology you were carrying. The military would recognize your car, as a car, with internal combustion engine but 99% of the circuitry they couldn’t conceive of, nor could you explain. You’d die in prison as a national security asset or risk. Imagine trying to explain your navigation system, or iPhone or computer. Even a Chromebook has more computing power than all the computers extant on the planet at that time.
Now imagine that scenario but you move forward 100 years.
We like to think that the future is all bright and shiny. We’d like to think that appearing in Los Angeles in 2221 we’d be accepted as a quaint relic. Our antiquated technology would be museum pieces and we’d have to learn everything that happened in the intervening 100 years.
But suppose instead we succumb to superstition and abandon true science, individual thought, and freedom.
What would be the outcome?
Would it look like Spain during The Inquisition, or would it look like Kandahar today?
I don’t want to know. I sure don’t want to live it.
Which leads me back to wanting to hitchhike off this planet. I’ve lost faith in humanity.
I seriously think that at our current rate of decline, we’ll be using candles for light and fire pits for cooking inside 200 years.
If I could hitch hike, I figure a quick jaunt to Betelgeuse and back, should be just about right to miss all the messiness on Earth.
There I go, trusting in Einstein’s math (Science) that states time slows for a ship traveling at or beyond the speed of light relative to Earth.
For me, 5-10 years might pass. For Earth, maybe a few hundred years pass.
If I come back and the planet is still a hot mess, I could head out to Alpha Centauri with side trips to other star systems that are interesting.
Either way, I get to keep on learning new things.
I don’t want to live in a world where knowledge is suppressed based on its potential to upend politics, religion, superstition, or beliefs.
If I was to find a way to leave, I’d do my best to grab digital copies of our Science, Art, Music, Literature, and History. I’d stick it all on some kind of storage media and take it with me. I figure I could trade copies of my archives for food or transport while I was away. If I returned the Earth, I’d have an archive that could help fill in the blanks.
We all know history, is being rewritten. It might be nice to have a collection of unedited data for comparison sake 1000 years into the future. I’m under no illusion that our history as recorded is pristine. But for comparison it might be useful.
The following is the kind of shit I think about when I’m doing boring stuff like sanding the old paint off the trim of the house and prepping to caulk, prime & paint.
I was contemplating the latest news about the vaccine mandates. I was just randomly wondering what the difference between the vaccine hesitant and those folks who were all in with the mandates.
BTW, These mandate folks are coming awfully close to violating the terms of the Nuremberg code.
Growing up in the ‘60s & ‘70s there was always the threat of nuclear annihilation. This was courtesy of the cold war and the “bastard communists” in the old soviet union.
Every day we got up, we had our cereal, kissed our moms goodbye and we went to school. We started our day with the pledge of allegiance, had fire drills (actually hoped for those to get us out of pop quizzes), and nuclear bomb drills.
Little did we know that those nuclear bomb drills were almost completely pointless. We all knew what a civil defense logo looked like and where the nearest fallout shelter was. In the cases of the schools I attended, the bomb shelters were onsite.
I can remember hearing the air raid sirens and wondering if this time we were going to feel the ground rumble like we’d seen in the civil defense films. It never occurred to me in elementary school, that I might not ever see my parents again if the bombs actually fell, after all mommy and daddy both were wise and they would know where the bomb shelters were. After the dust settled they’d come to pick me up at school and we’d go home to watch TV.
Later in junior high school, my knowledge and wisdom increased, I realized that the bomb shelters weren’t going to be useful since by that time I’d read about the survivors of Hiroshima and seen the pictures. I was also learning about things like the half life of various nuclear material and how irradiated materials could retain dangerously high levels of radiation for decades.
Mutation, horrible death, and fear of a nuclear holocaust became elements of my daily life. The possibility was always lurking in the back of my mind. The thing is, it became commonplace, eventually it was just another stupid thing in my world. I ranked It up there with a curfew, or tardiness to school, or the school project that I didn’t want to do and was putting off till the last minute.
Nuclear destruction became ho hum, boring, just another part of living. It was like cancer or chickenpox, or the daily bully as I walked home from school.
As I became a young adult, I got busy with trying to make my way in the world. The threat of nuclear destruction took a back seat to the more immediate things like eating, living, loving, paying my bills, and being happy.
I lived through the HIV/AIDS years, and looking back I wasn’t particularly afraid of that any more than I was of nuclear bombs falling. In the case of HIV/AIDS I was pissed off about it because that hit just as I was figuring out, and getting experience with sex. All of which came to a screeching halt just when I was getting good at it.
HIV/AIDS Poster
Don’t take that the wrong way. HIV/AIDS was a threat, it was scary, I lost a lot of good friends, including the one who said, “Dude, we medical folks don’t really know what this is, but looking at the spread pattern I think it’s somehow sexually transmitted. So just remember, no glove, no love.” He saved my life, unfortunately he didn’t take his own advice.
Flash forward 50 or so years from my childhood, and we’re dealing with a virus that has a breathtaking mutation rate. We have misinformation and what I only think of as fear porn 24/7. Oddly, it’s reminiscent of the “Dirty Bastard Communist nukes,” news I remember pretty clearly.
Maybe it’s a fatalism that I’ve carried with me all my life that leaves me somewhat less concerned about this virus, than the younger crowd.
I suppose I adopted a “Live the day, you may be dead tomorrow,” kind of thing.
Then there was the first SARS which was again sort of a meh moment. No-one panicked about it, hell no-one much noticed. Although I do recall the media banging the be terrified angle pretty hard. Nobody paid much attention. We didn’t shut down anything.
SARS
In a nuclear exchange, it’s gotta be over 90% that you’re going to die. With the COVID-19 virus, there’s a better than 90% chance you’ll survive.
It’s not political, it’s not racist, it’s just another damn thing in my life.
With a better than 90% survival rate this whole virus thing doesn’t come close to freaking me out like the concept of being atomized in a millisecond. This isn’t even in my top 10 worries.
I wonder if the “Unclean” vaccine hesitant folks in America are around my age?
Give or take 20 years. Those who are 40 something might still remember talk at the dinner table about the nuclear threat. They may have incorporated their parents lassie faire attitude. They’re quite possibly doing the math and thinking, “Eh whatever. It’s not like a fusion bomb.”
COVID-19
(While changing a sanding pad, I had this thought…)
Sonofabitch! I should thank the USSR for the cold war and the lessons of mutually assured destruction (MAD)
Were it not for my growing up under that sword I would be huddled in my darkened house with a hoard of food, ammo, and guns, muttering to my favorite knife, and twitching at every single noise I heard outside. But I’d be afraid of looking out the window to see what it was.
Instead, I’m standing here in the sun, on a beautiful autumn day, doing something that while it’s work I don’t really want to do, I’m enjoying anyway.
So thank you to all the comrades of the former USSR. Had it not been for your saber rattling I’d be quaking in my boots, in fear of everything.
The next thought that crossed through my mind was that people of my age don’t appreciate being badgered. President Biden at one point in his life had to know that. It speaks volumes about him personally and the youth of his staff that he is badgering Americans.
Most of the young probably haven’t see and certainly wouldn’t remember Nikita Khrushchev banging his shoe like a hammer at the UN screaming, “We will bury you…”
Nikita Khrushchev Speaking at the UN
We all know how that ended for the old USSR.
I am still very amused that the folks who prior to COVID were against vaccinations of their children for childhood diseases, are often the same folks screaming today loudly for mandatory vaccinations for everyone.
My amusement at their hypocrisy is that they don’t see it as hypocrisy. Some them have gone so far as to use the line, “Its for the children…”
Original AntiVaxers
I get that everyone has the capacity to change their mind or opinion. That’s totally cool, it means folks are learning.
What I don’t get is some folks ability to hold diametrically opposed thoughts in their heads at the same time and claim that all are true.
Call me binary. (Yeah, that’s a no no today, isn’t it?)
Where ever you come down on the vaccination issue, please at least have thought it through.
Do your own research, make an informed choice.
But under no circumstances should you just bow to the whims of the mob. You are and should always be in inviolate control of your own body and that includes what you allow to be put into it.
Hmm. Another weird thought is this one. How can the European Union which has so very publicly, over the past decade been against GMO foods and grains be so draconian about vaccine enforcement now?
Yeah, I know that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines aren’t technically GMO organisms. But given that the spike protein in question is a direct result of genetic modification doesn’t the EU stance seem just a bit odd?
It was at this point that the second battery died on the power sander, and my knee started killing me.
I came inside and other things beside random thoughts occupied my attention.
Now you know where some of this blog comes from. Sometimes it’s just the product of me having something boring to do.
Yep, I’m conflating both of them to nothing more than witchdoctors and quack snake oil salesmen of old.
Masking, Social Distance, for God’s sake get the Vaccine! Oh, ummm. Okay everyone stay masked up.
300 years of scientific progress in medicine and this is the best they can come up with?
Don’t mention the battle over the last decade between the medical establishment and anti-vaxxers. This should give the anti-vaxx crowd years of ammunition.
The current CDC guidance is, in many people’s minds, admitting that vaccines don’t work. That would be funny, if it wasn’t so sad.
It’s also not going to minimize the vaccine hesitancy either, I mean what’s the point? COVID still gonna get ya, vaccinated or not.
The Medical establishment and “Science” are going to have to come up with a lot of cures and very successful treatments over the next few decades to earn any of their credibility back. Immortality might be a good start.
BTW, Those cures had better not come with 10K price tags either. A lot of people on various sites are commenting that they’ve lost all faith in the CDC, the government, their Doctors, and most especially Fauci.
I personally loath Fauci. So take what I say next with a grain of salt, or a salt lick if needed.
Fauci hasn’t changed his spots for 40 years. In the early days of AIDS he stood in the way of experimental and alternative treatments. He was banging the same drum about clinical trials and trusting the science and how more research was needed.
Just as he has recently about Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, and any treatments that other reputable studies outside the US have shown to be effective for the treatment of COVID-19, Ya know, the Wuhan disease… The China Virus…
As today, there were lots of reputable studies being done outside the US that showed promise in minimizing the effects of AIDS. Fauci would hear none of it. As a result, thousands died, horribly and oftentimes alone.
Sound familiar???
What is new in Fauci’s nasty bag of tricks is an experimental vaccine with emergency FDA authorization.
This time around Fauci was ready to cash in on the profits from his holdings in pharmaceutical companies. With AIDS he had to wait a while before approved treatments were developed where he could cash in.
It doesn’t matter to him how many people die as long as he gets his cut. Getting his cut means new drugs, that are patentable.
Old drugs that can be manufactured inexpensively and easily where the patents ran out, are of no interest to Saint Fauci of the mask, even if they’re effective.
Now we have the revelation that Fauci’s organization may have indirectly been funding “Gain of function” research in China. Unsurprisingly at a Wuhan lab which does a lot of research with bats, and by a strange coincidence is where the China Virus COVID-19 first appeared.
If you recall, Fauci said that COVID-19 originated in wet markets where people came into contact with the progenitor virus that became COVID-19. The media was lit up with reports of the virus having suddenly jumped from bat to human. Yet, no trace of that COVID-19 virus evolutionary path has been detected in the caves were the bats live, the wet market, or anywhere else.
Way back in the early days of the AIDS crisis there were reports that HIV had originated from SIV (Simian immunodeficiency virus). At the time there were wild rumors of people having sex with monkeys and that provided the pathway for SIV to mutate into HIV. More realistic reports suggested that the SIV-HIV mutation had been facilitated due to people eating infected monkeys.
Sound familiar?
It occurs to me that, people in both China & Africa have been eating bats and monkeys as part of their cultural delicacies for thousands of years, isn’t it odd that after thousands of years, within a span of 40 years TWO viral strains would suddenly make the jump to humans?
Back in the AIDS days, there were also rather persistent rumors that AIDS had been created in labs by scientists in the Jungles of Africa. These rumors often came from tribal peoples indigenous to the area and were largely discounted because they were “tribal people” it was assumed they didn’t know what they were looking at regarding modern scientific research. The tribal people insisted that they saw hundreds of burned monkey bodies in pits near the labs.
These accounts were universally ignored as pure fantasies of a frightened ignorant group of people.
Maybe they weren’t frightened or ignorant. Maybe they reported exactly what they saw, and they reported it because they perceived it as a terrible waste of meat. To a hunter society, burning hundreds of “meals” would have been offensive enough that they’d have spoken about it.
The slaughter of the buffalo for their skins was unpardonably wasteful to the Native American tribes who were dependent on the buffalo for sustenance. The slaughter proved to the Tribes of North America that the white people were completely insane.
I find myself asking, if there were labs, what were they doing? What were they researching? Why were they there? Were these actually hospitals or clinics that the tribal folks misidentified? Or were they really research labs engaging in bad juju as the tribal folks claimed?
Today, something like 46% of Simians in Africa, have Simian immunodeficiency virus. I wasn’t able to determine if that is a constant percentage, meaning that it has always been that way, or if this is a new phenomena.
If it has always been that way, then you’d expect for the jump to humans to have occurred a long time ago, not “yesterday” in terms of human existence.
Is Fauci’s proximity to both occurrences coincidental? Does he just have bad luck like Hillary Clinton, with friends, associates, enemies, or employees, committing suicide?
Where was Fauci in the SARS epidemic? That too originated in Asia, might that have been a misfire?
Is Anthony Fauci the American version of Josef Mengele? This time though the monster has the whole world to experiment on?
Is there any correlation to AIDS and COVID-19 impact on rather specific populations? AIDS decimated the gay community in some cities. COVID-19 has, disproportionately affected Black, Brown, Yellow, and aged communities. That is what has been reported by various news outlets.
If I were a conspiracy theorist I’d be asking: Might this be by design? Kill off the old. (because they remember inconvenient truths.) Kill off or weaken the “undesirables” because of some grand eugenic design. Then your so called “Master Race”, or “Elite Overlords”, can implement whatever draconian idea of paradise might be. The Third Reich would be proud if they’d come up with a similar plan and the technology to implement it.
Just a further observation. The 1925 Geneva Protocol and its subsequent additions and ratifications prohibit the use of Chemical or Biological weapons.
This isn’t just altruism. It’s pragmatic. The release of Chemical weapons often affects both sides of a conflict. A change in the wind could see your own troops choking from mustard gas you fired at the enemy.
Biological weapons are worse because biology has a nasty habit of continuing to reproduce. The wind simply blowing after a biological weapon is released, could end all wars everywhere on the planet permanently.
It is for these reasons that wise politicians and thinkers have agreed not to use weapons like this.
If COVID-19 is a violation of these wise agreements. Then the perpetrators (creators) must be hunted down, and brought to justice in an international court of law.
Anthony Fauci may find himself in court at The Hague instead of arguing semantics in front of Congress.
That would be a good day, especially if he was brought to justice for all crimes he’s committed throughout the years.
Rest Easy my friends named on the quilt… Your day of justice may finally be at hand.
